The Great Loop: Dec. 8-9.
One the things that makes doing the Loop special are the people you meet by happenstance. We were anchored at Perdido Key, near Pensacola with a few other boats. On our way to the beach to watch the sunset we stopped by another boat. The owner happened to be a retired TopGun Flight Instructor. We mentioned to him that we had hoped to visit the National Naval Aviation Museum. It is located on the Pensacola Air Force in Pensacola (home of the Blue Angels) & requires a military personnel escort to enter the base. We were over the moon when he volunteered to pick us up the next day & give us a personal tour of the museum. It was fascinating listing to his stories.
We ended our short stay in Pensacola with a trip to Joe Pattiās Seafood shop. Colin was in seafood heaven.
